What do you think about the ligature BG L4SR Super revelation (with green cord) ?
Why it does not press very well ? What can I do ?
Thank you very much

It's about time! (I've used one exclusively since 1999).

Mark...I finally got tired of fussing and tweaking the Bonade.
The Spriggs was a revelation. A fine product - highly recommended! ...GBK (who has magazines from 1999 still to be read - I'm about 4 years behind the rest of the population)

BG is a great lig; you just have to tighten the heck out of it for a while. Mine does not usually slip. Floating Rails is perhaps the best I've ever played, but it is a nightmare to try a fast change from B flat to A!!

Never once have I had that problem. The BG is another story - much too unreliable to use in orchestra during fast changes between clarinets ...GBK

I tried the BG Super Rev. and didn't like the sound even with it as tight as possible. By the way, I'm using The Doctor's artificial cork grease, which I highly recommend, and mouthpiece switching is now much less traumatic.
Best regards.

Ken...I assume you mean the Doc's synthetic cork grease Syntek. There's nothing "artificial" about it. I agree that it is a great product.
